Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District

Keith West (Vice President) Tim Anderson (Secretary) Jennifer Reynolds Justin Green Seth Hodges Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District is a public school district in Omaha, Texas, United States.

[4] In late 1949 and early 1950, the two districts faced a financial issue in part because of a storm that all but destroyed the Omaha school.

Pewitt told the boards of his interest in the school children and made the following proposition: if the two districts would consolidate, he would purchase 100 acres (0.40 km2) of land on the highway halfway between Omaha and Naples, grade and prepare the grounds for the buildings and general use of the school, and donate an additional $100,000.00 in cash to help with the construction of the necessary buildings and equipment.

Moore, LeonCoker, John Whitaker and W.C. Stevens, was appointed to agree on and arrange for the 100-acre (0.40 km2) site and to serve as a general committee toward the consolidation.

The following resolution was also adopted: "Be it Resolved That, the Board of Trustees, as far as it lies within our power, accept Mr. Pewitt’s very generous offer to donate the Omaha and Naples school districts, if consolidated, $100,000 in cash, 100 acres (0.40 km2) of land for school purposes on the highway between the two towns, and other assistance, and that this board does hereby extend to Mr. Pewitt its heart-felt thanks for so generous an offer, and that as a token of our appreciation, and that of the people of our district, we recommend that the High School to be constructed on said grounds to be known as the ‘Paul H. Pewitt High School.’" On April 3, 1950, the first board of trustees were elected: W.G.
